3/4

Needs more garlic, salt, and lemon juice.Not bad but a little bland. It will taste fine in a wrap with thinly sliced tomatoes. I used dry cannelini beans becauseI don't like the taste of tin that comes from canned beans.

Just good, not great. I used dried beans, which made a nice consistency over canned. It was simple to make and healthy, and my vegan friends liked that I offered a non-dairy dip. However, I noticed there was a lot leftover at the end of the BBQ. I'm sure you could add many things to make it more flavorful and interesting. As is, it's nothing special.

Very simple but quite tasty. I used fresh rosemary and fresh thyme in the mix. I think it might be bland as written, so since I had some peppadew peppers I chopped them and added to the mix along with a shake each of cumin and cayenne. Garnished with a bit of fresh thyme and mint.

Don't use canned beans for this. I made that mistake and it turned out much too soft, so I had to add some chickpea flour to thicken. I added fresh scallions, some roasted red pepper, and lots of garlic--tastewise it turned out great and better the next day.

Made this for a
family holiday party
I hosted several
years ago. I needed
some meatless
appetizers for the
vegetarian guests,
and this looked to
be a quick and
inoffensive
offering. It turned
out to be as easy as
it seemed, but with
a lovely fresh
flavor that everyone
appreciated. I've
made it many times
since, always to
high marks. It's a
great recipe to have
in your pocket, as
one can make it in a
pinch with
ingredients on-hand.
I like to put it in
sandwiches and wraps
as well as use it as
a dip for veggies
and pita chips.

Delicious and easy. I used parsley instead of the mint and dill, and put everything in the processor with the beans. A delicious option is to add about 1/4-1/2 marinated artichoke hearts to the food processor.

I think this is very good. Two forks sounds too low, but two are for good, and three are for delicious... So I would have said two and a half, given the choice. Or maybe I'm being to difficult. Anyway, I substituted a bit for the herbs to use what I had on hand, and at the end, because it was a bit bland, added a dash of red pepper and salt. And I must say, it was good! And, to the other cooks who don't want to get out the food processor for a simple dip, being similarly minded, I used an old fashioned potato masher, which worked great and made a nice puree with little effort.

This is very good. Instead of sprinkling the herbs on top I mixed them in. Looked pretty speckled. Added a garnish of fresh mint leaves and served with peppered water crackers to rave reviews.

I played around with the seasonings also and
wasn't too impressed, either. It is better the next
day, after the flavors melded but still not great.

Bland. Would not make again. I tried amping up the cumin, lemon juice and salt, but it didn't help a great deal.
